From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

乐观是一件很容易的事情,忧患也是一件很容易的事情。在忧患之中,找到乐观的理由,才是最难的事情。 《纽约时报》专栏作家托马斯•弗里德曼是一个不可救药的乐观主义者。他相信“金色M理论”:只要两个国家都有麦当劳,就不会发生战争。这么天真的想法,居然会如此流行,是...
评分民主+资本主义=繁荣和稳定?这个记者给了一个我们隐约觉得不对又暂时想不出来的想法。从小就知道资本主义的不好和逐步毁灭的轨迹,但是还不清楚实际的繁荣秘密以及内部的生态发展。在历史的过程中,哪有绝对的事情呢,都是在此时复杂的环境中才有了绝对的真理。以后的子孙看来...
评分《不可思议的年代》 乔舒亚•库伯•雷默 著 何帆 译 湖南科学技术出版社 腰封上写着这样的句子: 传统的全球秩序摇摇欲坠,旧时代的精英们束手无策,轮到你上场的时候了,每个人都可以参与创造我们的社会。在一个革命的时代,你必须像一个革命者那样思考和行动。 这...
评分很快地翻了几章书,发现中学时代学习的哲学的辩证法还是很有道理的,整本厚厚的书,用辩证法总结就三句话: 1. 世界上的万事万物(一切存在)都是普遍存在联系的,世上没有独立存在的东西 2. 世界是永恒变化发展的 3. 最后要善于利用万物之间的联系(如混搭),用发展的眼光...
评分这本书,再次展现雷默的敏感,当然,宽阔的思维运动一直驰骋在新世界的构建上。观点并不新颖,继续看好北京,发掘世界变局的策动点。 除此之外,我只能说,很好很好,就像看通天帝国,看时热闹非凡,看完也能瞬间忘记干净。

评分Read in Merville Residence in UCD. A pretty neat book, with good examples of how innovation could make a difference. I still remembered the Nintendo example.
